Turbo ID

[MM2death]

I am trying to figure out what turbo is on my 32. I can't seem to read the A/R on it. Does this look like an aftermarket turbo or a stocko. I was told when i got it dynoed that it was something aftermarket. What is the A/R of the stock turbo for the R32 GTS-t?

Any help appreciated.

Thanks,

Scott

Hi mm2, Does it say Nissan on the compressor cover?

[MM2death]

Sydneykid,

From as much as i can read without taking anything off to see better, no.

But it looks like the A/R is either 0.6 or 0.8. It's hard to distinguish from the 8 and the 6. Do you know what the A/R is for a standard 32 turbo is?

Thanks,

Scott

your pics dont really help much, but it doesnt look standard to me. esp where the wastegate actuator is mounted, as well as the way the comp cover is held on, most nissan turbos use garret style which is bolted.

I think yours maybe an ihi, or mitsubishi (trust use these too)

Anyone else?

from what i gather its a stocker without the heat sheilding...

it appears to be just the same as myn from the looks of the wastegate actuater is.

I took the heat shield off to get the photo. I would just like to know for sure what it is. Even if i know whether it's stock or whether it's not is good enough for me. Nick from APC said it was aftermarket but didn't know what it was...but he was looking with the heat shield on. So who knows...

[MM2death]

Hey boxhead have you taken your heat shielding off to look at yours, or are you simply comparing actuators?

Get me a pic of the front of the compressor cover.

Looks similar to mine - HKS2510

I see if i can get a pic tomorrow when i get the camera back.

Chris32,

Can you tell me what it says on your compressor cover?

It would be appreciated,

Scott

Hi MM2, the high flowed R33 RB25DET turbo on our R32 GTST RB20DET says "16V 5 Nissan Motor" on the compressor cover.

I have seen a number of R32 GTST's with R33 GTST turbos fitted, so this may help if yours is another one.

[MM2death]

OK, i managed to read what i think it says on the compressor cover with one of those little mirrors on a rod (don't know the name of it). Reading clockwise around the cover it says:

M27 (with a circle around it) 2 1-1 A/R 80 (i think) GARRET.

Any ideas what turbo it could be?

Regards,

Scott

Thanks for the help so far guys.

My 2510 has M27 and .60 cast onm the front, it also has a machined front with 4 allen key nuts on the front. I don't think yours is stock, as it doesn't have the factory 90 cast section from the compressor cover on it.

More pics would help

[MM2death]

hmm...it could be 60 on mine. Also i noticed on the compressor outlet to the intercooler, it has some sort of hose coming out with a nut on the end of it which looks adjustable. Anyone know what that does?

[adam 32]

only akin 150rwkw it aint gunah be anything huge

firstly put on a heat shield though, thats gunah be boiling the engine bay as it is

the actuator is in the std position

i have a 0.60 comp housing and it rubs against the chassis rails so judging by that pic it aint that big...

id dare say from size and power output its either a small GT series turbo or a high-flow.

easiest way to find out is pull the intercooler piping off and take some better pics for us

also if the car hasnt got a front mount (or theres no evidence of it ever having one ie cut up front supports or front bar) then i doubt its anything huge
